Or we can reject ontological anti-realism. That is, what "exists" in the first place are linguistic conventions constrained by physics, our understanding, and practicality.
- vehemenz 4y agoPlease note the inverted commas around 'exists' in my comment. They are there for a reason. I can imagine the layman ascribing some mystical quality to ontological anti-realism, but, ironically, the view acts to dispel the mystical quality of uncritical "existence" claims that many take for granted (much like theism, moral realism, etc.).
